Using a somatic approach, I will help you overcome and heal from the trauma that is stored in your body.
I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal and I will provide a space where you can feel safe to explore your feelings, thoughts, and experiences. In therapy, I will help facilitate self-discovery, acceptance, and personal growth in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. I recognize that everyone is different and each person has unique experiences that require different approaches to healing. I will help you tap into your own inner resources and find the solutions that work for you. Above all, I will walk with you, and hold space and hope for you, on your healing journey.

I’m trained in a somatic form of EMDR called Natural Processing, and have extensive training in a depth approach to psychotherapy.
Do you feel overwhelmed or stuck with a life change, loss or trauma? Are you desiring change and fearing it at the same time? When we go through life changes, loss or trauma we can get turned around and have a hard time finding our ground again. Sometimes we lose touch gradually, over years of not being seen or heard. Not feeling safe enough to speak our truth or be who we really are. This can show up as depression, anxiety, or feeling stuck and unable to trust ourselves. Sometimes it’s just a feeling of emptiness on the inside, even though things look good on the outside.

Childhood trauma often times comes with a feeling of deep shame, which turns into a core belief that you are bad, undeserving and unworthy of anything good. Shame comes from an old German word meaning “to cover.” You hide your feelings, keeping them secret. Because—if they really knew who you were, they couldn’t love you. You spend your life trying so hard to cover up the bad so no one will see. In doing this you lose your authenticity, your truth, your dreams. You become someone you are not. You lose your light. Working through trauma is hard, it takes courage, dedication and patience, but it is worth it. You are worth it.

I am certified in EMDR and have a Somatic Trauma Therapy Certificate- the most current evidence based trauma therapies.
Hey! I am Terri. So many people that I have met describe having been stuck. They have been unable, with the tools they have had, to get unstuck. Typically, it seems that trauma in one form or another is behind that. We all have a story, right? The one that led you here. Trauma can be big trauma, like we think of car accidents or sexual assault but it can also be things like grief or loss, divorce, emotional abuse, etc. Things that get stuck, that mold us in a sense... those same things also make us strong and build character, once we learn how to build from them.

We repeat what we don't repair, and we can't achieve change unless we make changes. My style is integrative, emotion and attachment focused, strength based, trauma informed/affirming, polyvagal-informed, psychoeducational and skill building. We'll work together to create healthy perspective shifts, develop effective communication, process difficult feelings, notice negative thoughts, change unhelpful behaviors, and increase self-love. I emphasize the connection of mind and body, and help clients build neuroplasticity and increase brain health. I'm authentic, full of humor, and nonjudgmental to all.

Are you feeling disconnected from your sense of self or purpose? Has your life gone in a direction you are unhappy with? Are you struggling as a parent or in your relationships? We are all a work in progress. We have each developed our own unique way of experiencing the world and how we interact within it. At times, that experience can be challenging and uncomfortable. Engaging in counseling is a courageous and empowering opportunity to turn inward and actively invest in living your best life.

Somatic Therapists
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
